Duke já tinha lugar na história do jazz quando Newport abriu uma nova fase em sua carreira. O concerto de 1956 deu origem ao seu disco mais vendido e renovou o interesse pela orquestra que ele mantinha na estrada havia décadas.

É com Ellington at Newport que seguimos a quarta temporada de Aos Sábados Indicamos Jazz, dedicada a apresentações históricas que viraram disco.

Great fun and great music. We had a ball. So happy the rain stopped, and the sun came out and so did an audience. It was a family affair as usual. So pleased to be a part of this wonderful annual event. Bless you Mercedes. @jazzpowerinitiative @americantapdancefoundation @decfa @max1poll @montagueantoinette #tap#jazz#ellington #music #nyc
